v July 25, 1937 THIS WEEK MISS CHRISTIE SHOWS (LEFT) WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SLUMP — AND A PUPIL BENEFITS - Courage Won Her Grace dancer explains, and adds, ‘“‘think of the hips as wheels of a light vehicle and carry the body weight evenly be- tween them. If the hips sway from side to side the body also will. Then over goes the apple cart, as far as beauty of balance is concerned.” She encourages young actors and dancers with: ‘‘Physical rhythm is nothing more than good posture with design added.” DON'TS can be excellent warn- . ings. Miss Christie claims that some- All of pique. Of course he was killed. It's childish to think anything else.” ‘‘Madam,"” said Cardavan gravely, “I hope you are wrong. In any case the necessity for secrecy remains and I'm overdue at the Embassy with ex- planations. In the meantime I hope all of you here will give Captain Wong your full co-operation.” He started toward the entresol but paused to greet the Chinese rear guard. ‘“‘Hello, Wah Ling, Fu-Ming. How are you, Feng?”’ With hands clasped they ducked their heads, immemorial custom trans- cending Western clothes.The Chinese! Red’s gray eyes lit with admiration. By remembering a single blow, you " strike yourself many times. If that wasn't wisdom, triple-distilled through the centuries, what was it? He glanced at Di-Di, and was puzzled at finding the boy’s eyes still sweeping the floor — right to left, left to right. Only the arc had changed; it was wider. Wong also turned on Di-Di. “Tur- tle,”” he cried, ‘‘stir yourself!*Fetch your Missy’s coat.” ‘“Where are we going?’’ asked Mrs. Bynne. Then she rose swiftly. It doesn’t matter. I'm glad to go any- where out of this room.” ‘“‘Only the usual routine,”” said Wong. “It is necessary that all make full statements before the police au- thorities.” He then spoke rapidly in Mandarin to Wah Ling, instructing him to get them into a motor car. Red pretended Continved from poge six times it is better to tell people what not to do — particularly when ex- plaining posture rules. 1. Don’t tense buttock muscles — this enlarges ybur hips and makes your walk wooden and heavy. 2. Don’t lock knees — this tends to throw all the units of the body out of balance and out of alignment, and jars each step. 3. Don'’t open or spread the shoul- der blades — this rounds the shoulders and drops the chest. 4. Don’t jut the chin forward — this is the cause of the thick neck and the dowager’s hump. But beyond the actual physical in- struction, there is an inspirational quality to Grace Christie’s work. ‘‘Strength without tension, grace without weakness, form without con- straint, and expression without sen- timentality’’ — these are the guiding principles of Miss Christie’s teachings and the embodiment of the dancer herself. Blood Is Red Continved from page seven not to understand, but when Wah came toward him, Red took Tracy’s arm so they would not be separated. Obeying a gesture he led her out and a few minutes later the four entered one of the hotel taxis. The driver was told to wait. Almost at once, Mrs. Bynnecameout accompanied by Wong, followed by Di-Di walking between Fu-Ming and Feng. All five crowded into a second car, then both cars started, swerved left, and soon headed north along Hatamen Street. Tracy was between Aldyreff and Long. She turned to the Russian. “Do you know where we’re going, Captain?’’ “Eh?” he exclaimed, rousing him- self from deep abstraction. ‘“Where are we going?”’ repeated Tracy. “Oh,” said Aldyreff. ““To the police station — yes, the police station.” “That’s funny,” said Red, ‘‘because we just passed it.” ‘“How do you know?"’ asked Aldyreff. Long, angry at himself, glanced back at the squat building; for- tunately the Chinese flag was flying from its cupola top. “By the flag,” he said. ‘A lucky guess,”’ remarked Aldyreff, ‘“‘since the flag flies over any public building. I thought for a minute you must have read the Chinese sign.” Long leaned forward to look at him boldly. “Don’t you think we ought to tell Captain Wong he’s lost his way?"’ “No,” said Aldyreff coolly. ‘“‘Quite God Speed by FANNY DE GROOT HASTINGS Father of us and of all small and furred And timid creatures, leaving safe abodes In search of food, let none of us be spurred To too great haste when these would cross Thy roads. Help us observe the prudence of Thy laws That give safe conduct on all journeys, let The speed of wheels be tempered to four paws And transit have no sequel of regret. evidently we're not headed for the police station.” The cars zigzagged along the broad stretch of Hatamen Street for several blocks, dodging rickshas, bicycles, carts, peddlers, water carriers, men in robes and women in pegtop trousers under quilted, flaring jackets.Abruptly they made a half circle and came to a stop close to an archway too narrow for their passage. Immediately rick- shas swarmed toward the descending passengers. Wong chose nine and ordered the rest back. The procession started, this time in single file with Wong gnd Fu-Ming at its head while Feng and Wah Ling guarded the rear. Cautiously Long spoke to his boy and wherever the way was broad enough his ricksha was brought close to Tracy’s. He spoke to her softly: ““Tracy, what did they do to you?"’ ‘“‘Nothing, but I had a feeling some- body might have tried twisting my arm if Lieutenant Cardavan had been out of the way.” “Why? What for?” ““Because they got out of the suite so soon after you left I was afraid they’d catch you, so I made qiiite a noise locking my door. By the time they persuaded me to open it I knew you were safe.” ““Good girl. Then what?”’ ““They took me back into the sitting room and asked the same questions over and over. I didn’t know where you’d gone or why I'd locked myself in; I just kept saying I didn’t know. What about you, Red? Did you find out anything?"’ ‘““Yes. I caught up with Dr. Millar. You were right, Tracy; we both were right. Bynne was murdered.” “Oh!”’ i “‘Look out!” whispered Red sharply. ‘“Wong is dropping back. Get a grip on yourself. Please!” “Why — why shouldn’t we tell him?"’ she gasped. “‘Because there’s nothing we could prove,” said Red hurriedly. “Trust me, Tracy; say something he can hear.” “What terrible streets! What’s be- hind all these low walls?"’ (Continved on next page) l 1 f Maoagazine Section WHAT A DIFFERENCE CRISPNESS Crisp bacon is de- licious. Limp, leathery bacon is not.
